Following last week’s report of D.C. United attempting to secure Ecuador winger Joao Rojas from Emelec, now comes word the Black-and-Red continue to look at the La Tri roster, this time at Michael Estrada, a 25-year-old forward currently with Toluca in Liga MX. The move would be a loan with a buy option according to Cesar Merlo, who coincidentally reported on D.C.’s advanced talks with Rojas last week before Emelec released a statement saying that the player was intransferible.
Edwards has started this season slow with Toluca thus far, going goalless in 579 minutes, but he is coming off a 2020-21 campaign where he scored 11 goals and 4 assists in his first full season with Los Diablos Rojos, following moving to the club from Ecuador side Macara at the end of 2019.
